Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced groundbreaking progress on a new technology that will revolutionize the way we interact with devices. The company is developing a wearable device that can interpret brain signals to control various devices, without the need for invasive brain implants.
During a recent interview with tech entrepreneur Roberto Nickson on YouTube, Zuckerberg shared details about the new technology. The device, which is worn on the wrist, uses electromyography (EMG) to read neural signals sent to the hand and translate them into commands for devices. This non-invasive approach sets Meta’s technology apart from other brain-computer interface technologies, such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink.
Zuckerberg expressed excitement about the potential of this technology, stating that while they are still in the early stages of development, the internal testing has been promising. He also hinted at the integration of these neural interface wearables with Meta’s Ray-Ban augmented reality smart glasses, opening up new possibilities for user interaction.
The implications of this technology for accessibility and digital interaction are vast, as it has the potential to redefine the boundaries between technology and human capability. With Meta gearing up to introduce these devices to the consumer market, the future of digital interaction looks promising.
In comparison, Neuralink’s brain implant called Telepathy has already shown significant impact, allowing paralyzed individuals like Noland Arbaugh to play computer games using only their thoughts.
As Meta continues to push the boundaries of technology, the world eagerly awaits the arrival of these wearable brain signal reading devices that could change the way we interact with the digital world.
